Full-time actor

Chapter 698 once again breaks the pre-sale record in film history!
"The wind blew your news

This is the song in my heart!"

"When I'm old, I really hope this song is sung for you..."

On the rehearsal stage of CCTV, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei stood affectionately and sang their singing program - "When You Are Old"!
"it is good!"

Jin Yue was clapping in the audience, and he subconsciously glanced at the judges of the rehearsal.

No one showed much expression, but according to Jin Yue's estimation, there shouldn't be any problem for this program to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, the Spring Festival Gala programs do not require high singing skills from the performers, but there are strict regulations on the lyrics and music.

Therefore, the singing voice of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei is not the key, the key is whether the song is good or not.

And it is obvious that this song was able to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life, so there will be no problem in this life.

Chen Yu is currently the biggest voice for the Spring Festival Gala.

Don’t say that the song can be passed even if it has some minor issues, now this song is clearly of a high level.

So after a while, several judges had made a decision.

The program being rehearsed on the stage at this time is Zhao Benshan’s "Planning", which is also from the Baiyun Black Soil series!

Chen Yu had seen it before anyway, it was just a "rooster laying eggs" joke, but Liu Yifei on the side was so amused that she lost her image as a lady and just kept giggling, just like the rooster laying eggs in the skit on the stage, crowing non-stop.

It's just that she is young now, otherwise her teeth would probably show when she laughs.

"Killing me!"

After reading it, Liu Yifei patted her chest with a flushed face. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and tears came out of the corners of her eyes.

Seeing Chen Yu standing there as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it funny?"

"It's okay, your sense of humour has always been lower than mine!"

"You are the one who laughs the least!"

Liu Yifei, wearing an evening gown, still punched Chen Yu twice. Chen Yu said with a wronged look on his face: "You have a low sense of humor!"

If this "Planning" is so funny, what will happen after watching "Not Short of Money"?

"Hey, that's not right!"

When Chen Yu thought of "Not Short of Money", he remembered the performance with Liu Yifei during his art exam, and he had to find time to write the script.

Although he has no shortage of such traffic now, he can promote others.

"Give Shen Teng Mary a chance!"

Chen Yu thought about it and felt that the two of them were actually quite suitable.

Because Xiao Shenyang and Yadan had preconceived ideas, they felt that it was not possible.

But in fact, it would be fine to replace Shen Ma, but according to Uncle Zhao, Zhao Benshan might not give Chen Yu this face.

Although Chen Yu is now famous, the King of Northeast is not to be underestimated.

So the candidate does not necessarily have to be Zhao Benshan, he could be replaced by a comedian, but at the moment, Chen Yu really couldn't think of a suitable one.

Xiao Shen and Yang Yadan can be replaced, but Lao Zhao is indeed the essence.

But I definitely won’t be performing this skit this year, but I can try next year.

Don't worry, there is still a year left.

……

"Okay, thank you teachers for your hard work!"

"Today is the last rehearsal. When the Spring Festival comes, we will perform in this order!"

After the rehearsal, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's programs were officially approved, and everyone performed them again according to the official appearance of the Spring Festival Gala.

Only after confirming that there was no problem did they leave the CCTV building one by one.

In less than a week, the annual Spring Festival Gala will begin; but Chen Yu cannot rest yet, as he has to hold a global premiere of "Inception 2" before the Spring Festival!

It’s tomorrow, February 2th, Valentine’s Day!
As for the marketing of this movie, the whole world has been flooded with news, such as Chen Yu personally climbing the world's tallest building, blowing up the Kremlin, attacking the White House, etc.

People who don’t know would think Chen Yu is a terrorist.

But under such publicity effect, audiences all over the world are full of expectations for this movie.

Especially domestically.

The first film "Escape Plan" was already released in China during the Spring Festival last year, and now that the second part is released, there will definitely be more people who want to watch it.

The same is true in other countries, except in Europe and the United States, where the movie is called "Impossible Action 2"!
However, the film is based on the Mission: Impossible series, which should be of some help in increasing the box office.

The release of this movie has been gearing up for all over the world, and the global discussion about it is quite high. Not to mention "Taken" which was released at the same time last year, even before "Mission: Impossible 3" was released, the popularity was not so high.

It can be seen that Chen Yu’s current box office appeal has definitely spread all over the world.

Not only in Asia, but also in Europe and the United States, it has already had a certain influence.

News about tower climbing, bombing, satellites, etc. are already eye-catching, and with the deliberate publicity from Paramount and China Film, the popularity is even higher.

Amid such unprecedented popularity, the global premiere of "Invisible Mission" officially kicked off.

Several major actors, including Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt, and Jeremy Renner, were invited by Chen Yu to come to China to celebrate the Spring Festival while promoting the film in various places.

The premiere on Valentine's Day was quite successful.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were a little romantic.

With the support of Hollywood, Chen Yu and money, the popularity on the Internet and the ratings reached new highs.

In the future, the top ten hot searches might all be about "Invisible Mission".

"So far, the pre-sale of "Operation Bourne" has broken the previous pre-sale box office record of 3 million set by "Fast and Furious 1.5"!"

The day after the premiere, pre-sales of "Invisible Mission" had exceeded 1.5 million, and there were still 4 days before its official release.

Before the premiere, the pre-sale was over 5000 million.

In just one day, it increased by 1 million.

With the blessing of Valentine's Day, it is almost invincible now before the dog-licking economy collapses.

Each person bought at least 2 tickets.

This is Chen Yu’s current status in China. He is unrivaled and is sought after by young people. Moreover, it is the second year’s Spring Festival, and it is much more fierce than the first year.

"Brother Yu, it's very likely that we will break the record again!"

The box office record of "Mission Impossible 3" in mainland China is over 8 million, and now it is very likely to hit 9 million, or even 10 billion!
Yang Lu spoke excitedly on the phone.

It's really because the popularity of "Invisible Mission" is too strong now, with pervasive marketing and word of mouth, and everyone is going to see Chen Yu climb the world's tallest building and bomb the White House and the Kremlin.

This gimmick is too hype and the appetite is whetted.

10 billion!

Chen Yu can indeed think about it. "The Force Awakens" made over 7 million yuan in this period last year, and "Mission Impossible 3" made over 8 million yuan in the summer vacation. This is another Spring Festival, so the Spring Festival period is obviously more powerful.

The previous domestic box office record of 10 billion was set by "Avatar" in 2010, also during the Spring Festival, and reached 13.68 billion.

That is three years later.

At that time, the average box office of blockbusters in China was only around 3 to 4 million yuan.

Cameron created a gap of 10 billion.

Once again, he proved his unparalleled global box office revenue capability with his strength. However, the marketing of "Avatar" was indeed very aggressive, with the main feature being that it was the world's first 3D film.

The ticket price is of course very expensive, 1-2 times more expensive than the normal ticket price.

Therefore, it is normal that the box office has exceeded 13 billion yuan. Although the ticket price of Chen Yu's "Invisible Duty" is more expensive than ordinary tickets, it is not as outrageous as "Avatar" which is several times more expensive.

In this life, Chinese cinemas, after being baptized by so many movies starring Chen Yu, plus the investment in cinemas in recent years, have far more screens than in 07 in the previous life.

Although it has not reached the level of 2010 in the previous life, it is similar to the end of 08 and the beginning of 09.

It has been going on for almost 2 years and will only get faster from now on.

That is, in 2010, it may reach the level of 2013-2014 in the previous life.

Chen Yu was happy to see such good things happen.

The more cinemas there are, the higher the box office and influence will be for him.

In his previous life, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" almost broke the record of the highest-grossing film in a single market worldwide. In this life, Chen Yu is bound to make another breakthrough.

If possible, you should also try the film with the highest global box office record.

It could even be a Chinese movie?

This has always been Chen Yu's ambition.

"Let's try it. Only after we create 10 billion can we create 20 billion or 30 billion..."

Yang Lu couldn't believe what Chen Yu said. 10 billion was already something he had dreamed of.

Not to mention 20 billion or 30 billion.

That was a number he never dared to imagine in his dreams.

For most of the current Chinese filmmakers, a box office of 10 billion is already an insurmountable barrier in their minds.

If you were not reborn, you would never have known that in the next 5-7 years, the box office would take a triple jump, from 10 billion to nearly 60 billion.

"Let's have a good talk with the cinema chains about the profit sharing this time!"

“Strive to get it to 45%!”

This should be a limit. In his previous life, Zhang Yimou and the film industry alliance failed to do it, so Chen Yu directly revealed his cards in this life.

In such a special period, if they disagree, Chen Yu can simply not give the copy. Other theaters can increase the screening schedule anyway... Theaters will definitely compromise if they want to make money.

Who makes Chen Yu’s current box office appeal so unique and uninterrupted? Rather, it’s because he has no rivals.

As long as it is his film, the theaters will make huge profits.

It’s just a matter of earning more or less.

"Ok!"

"I actually told them once, and they were willing to give in!"

"Oh, by the way, Brother Yu, in addition to our film, there are also two Hong Kong films and two Hollywood films during the Spring Festival this year!"

“Four in total!”

"But there are two movies that were released yesterday, Valentine's Day!"

Yang Lu was talking there, but Chen Yu actually knew it.

"The Disciples" and "Gemini Thieves" are two Hong Kong movies. Hong Kong people obviously feel that they are more powerful than those in the mainland. Last year, Chen Yu made so much box office during the Spring Festival, so they also want to give it a try.

So "The Disciples" and "Extraction" were released on the same day.

Directed by Derek Yee, starring Hua Zai, Yan Zu and Gu Tianle, and the female lead is Zhang Jingchu.

"Gemini Thieves" is a fan-winning work of tinws. It was released on Valentine's Day yesterday and took in 600 million at the box office.

As for the two Hollywood blockbusters, one that was released on Valentine's Day is "The Devil Wears Prada", and the leading actress is Anne Hathaway, who has just worked with Chen Yu.

Another movie released during the Spring Festival is "Night at the Museum", which only cost 1200 million US dollars, but has already grossed 2.5 million in North America.

There are currently over 4 million worldwide, and the industry predicts that it may eventually reach 6 million. This is definitely an example of a low-cost counterattack.

It is mainly adapted for children, following the Harry Potter route, and is indeed a very successful adaptation.

However, he probably won’t be very popular in China because he doesn’t have the same popularity as Harry Potter.

"So that means the main rivals during the Spring Festival are these two?"

In addition to Chen Yu's "Operation Bourne", there are "The Disciples" and "Night at the Museum"!
These three movies occupy 80% of the screenings, with "Invisible Mission" taking the largest share, almost half, or about 49%.

The other two films combined don’t make as much as Chen Yu’s, which is already a special favor from the theaters.

"Yes, just these two, but there are 2 works showing!"

"Then let's wait and see on New Year's Day!"

If the attendance rate of the last two films exceeds that of "Incredible", the number of screenings will definitely increase; otherwise, it will be the one to be beaten, and the number of screenings will become fewer and fewer, all of which will be given to "Incredible".

Cinemas are the most realistic and fair. Whoever has good box office will definitely be given priority in screenings.

Of course, the pre-sales can also tell the difference, otherwise "Invisible Mission" wouldn't have been able to take up nearly half of the market.

The other four movies combined are not as good as this one.

The pre-sales in the next few days will indeed follow this trend.

At noon on New Year's Eve, the pre-sales of "The Disciples" were 2100 million, while "Night at the Museum" was 1100 million!
The two films combined are not even a fraction of "Inception".

2.42 billion!
Moreover, today's pre-sale should be the fastest growing. After all, the midnight show starts, and many people will spontaneously go to nearby cinemas to buy tickets. If nothing unexpected happens, the pre-sale can reach or exceed 3 million!
This is a new pre-sale record, and it far exceeds the 3 million pre-sale created by "Fast and Furious 1.5" starring Chen Yu half a year ago!
It has more than doubled.

This is the charm of the Spring Festival period. People in the entire industry, including Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, were shocked.

The two people's movie this year has just been released.

Despite being criticized by the entire network, "Curse of the Golden Flower" earned 4.2 million yuan at the box office, setting a new career high for Zhang Yimou. It is close to 3 million yuan more than his previous life, 1.2 million more!
In fact, most of this should be thanked to Chen Yu’s rebirth.

The butterfly effect of the box office drove the market.

Another movie, "Night Banquet", which netizens jokingly called the "shameful work" of three major mainland directors, earned 2.1 million!
It's a loss overall.

The total investment and publicity is 1.5 million.

At this point, the representative bad films of the three major domestic directors have all been released.

Chen Kaige's "The Promise", Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet" and Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower"!
Netizens probably think that this is the worst masterpiece of the three people's lifetime, but Zhang Yimou expressed his dissatisfaction, because he has not reached the lowest limit. Among these three films, "Curse of the Golden Flower" actually has the highest rating.

It cannot be regarded as Zhang Yimou's worst representative work at all, because there will be worse ones in the future, and... there will be several of them!
